SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Growing globalization has increased employment opportunities for Americans to work abroad, but employee failure to complete overseas assignments (turnover) diminishes the potential competitive advantage of U.S. companies with international offices. The purpose of this quantitative meta-analytic study was to assess strength and direction of the relationships of 4 factors that contributed to expatriate turnover according to the 2011 Brookfield Global Relocation Services (GMAC) study and to measure the effects of the associated 10 variables. The 4 factors were (a) personal, (b) work-related, (c) organizational, and (d) environmental. The 10 sub variables were (a) general adjustment, (b) interaction adjustment, (c) psychological adjustment, (d) intention to stay, (e) turnover intentions, (f) work adjustment, (g) job satisfaction, (h) work performance, (i) organizational commitment, and (j) sociocultural adjustment. The results indicated a positive association among personal and organizational factors and expatriate turnover; however, no relationship was shown among work-related and environmental factors and expatriate turnover. The theoretical, practical, and research implications of these results should contribute to an increased understanding of expatriate turnover. Implications for positive social change include more successful global adaptability of expatriates and higher retention of Americans in the global business workforce. The information from these findings could increase business successes and yield related cost savings.
